cision? - The real and practical question
is one of deciding power. If the court has no
lawful means of making it's decision effective in
annuling the opposite decision of the political
power-or, stated the opposite way, if the politi
cal power is able to make it's decision effective
Notwithstanding the contrary decision of the
court-then the supreme deciding power resides
In the political establishment aud not in the iu-
dicial establishment This s, and has been, the
postulate of the Times in relation to all the nu-
merous controversies of this character that have
emerged during the last quarter of century.
The decision of political question for of an ex-
ecutive question: is not il the judicial faculty,
for the ample reason that the judiciary cannot
decide it effectively. And the decision of ju-
dcal question is not in the political faculty for
the like reason. The actual decisions of all such
controversies that have arisen. since jackson 8
terse commentary on the papal bull of John Mar
shall to the which.invites its application in
Indiana. have been many cumulative proofs
of the correctness of this view on the subject.
1t is not worth while, therefore. to enter upon
any criticism of the argument of the Indianap-
oils judge. 1t is an argument whose badness is
sufficiently Indicated in the following eXtraordi-
nary petisio principli:
Section 4756. of the Revised Statutes, in specifying
causes for which election may be contested pro-
vldes ground whatever for trying such question
as is presented here-namey, whether the election
held held at time when it might lawfully be held.
Ii the courts therefore, have no authority to deter
mine whether not the election in controversy could
legally have been held. there is way whatever to
determine it.
1t may be supposed that the question for de-
clsion was either a question of law made. or a
question of law lnakng that is, Judicial or a
! political question. If it was the former the
way to determine at was in the power of decid
| ing what the law is: judicial power. If it was
the latter, the way to determine it was in the
power of deciding what the law shall be: politi
| cal power Certainly. if there is no law there is
no power of judicial decision, and the deciding
| power must be sought elsewhere. Tho Indian
| apolis court finds that there is law, and Their
begs US to accept the absurdity that if the court
| has no power to decide without law there is ne
| way whatever of decision! That may do for In
| diana, but not for America.
